Untitled Fall '95, 1995, Video

[ASU Art Museum's description of Untitled Fall '95]:"Each fall the experience begins anew - fresh-faced, energetic young students enter art school to escape their parents, who predictably do not understand them or their artistic drive. They arrive with a false sense of freedom, but soon discover that there are even more rules, regulations and requirements on campus. The art student dream of a bohemian lifestyle and limitless studio time is quickly shattered by the brutal reality of critical theory, western civilization, humanities and art history classes."

Ummm, don't wanna see that movie. How depressing. I really don't want to watch a film about how horrible my life is supposed to be right now. I wonder what the intended audience of that work is? I mean is it geared towards college students, the people the video focuses on? I hope not. Ok, I guess this pisses me off. This was probably made to open the eyes of the naive or something. I disagree with the whole false freedom disappointment thing that this artist is trying tell us. Bullshit...
